Sixteen cannabis plants were seized from a parked car in an operation targeting rural crime last weekend.

A group of nine police officers and community volunteers acted as spotters between 7.30pm on Saturday, September 7, and 1.30am on Sunday, September 8, in a bid to disrupt rural crime in the Bracknell area.

During Operation Labret the spotters noticed a suspicious car parked in Mare Lane in Beenham Heath with a male occupant. A search of the black Vauxhall Astra revealed 16 cannabis plants. The man was cautioned and no arrest was made.

PC Marius York, of Bracknell police station, said: "All the spotters involved had an interesting experience and are all keen to continue being involved in such operations locally."
